Napoléon Lannes is a 1835 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts a seated man with his arms crossed, gazing downward. He wears a dark jacket with gold buttons and light-colored pants, with his legs crossed at the ankles. His dark hair is neatly styled. The man's facial expression is somber, and his posture conveys a sense of introspection. The background of the image is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the subject's dark attire. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of depth and texture in the image.

Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
